` To lLZZwwm t may concern.' "f I i Be it known that l, JOHN JANUcHoWsKr,

in. Bottle-Caps, of which thefollbwing is a My 'present invention pertains toan'" iini "y proved bottle cap, the same being designed more especially for use in connection with milk bottles .such as are now generally ern. ployed by the trade in the distribution. of

milk, cream, buttermilk and thelike rin smalL quantities.

The object of the 'invention is to produce a simple and efficient cap or closure which may be readily applied and as readily re.

moved, the cap being so constructed that it will adapt itself to bottles varying in size' (within a limited extent)4 while at the same time it is cheap to produce.

The cap is illustrated in the annexedV drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a transverse sectional View of the cap; Fig. 2 a similar view showing it applied .to an ordinary or usual milk bottle ;v and Fig. 3 a perspective view, partly broken away.

The cap is `composedof two members or disk like sheets, one of relatively'light sheet metal, and an underlay or liner formed from paper and designated as a whole by 2.

The two members are simultaneously formed up in suitable di and the paper member is closely nestedwithin the metal l section. The metal section .may be said to comprise atop 3 having a depending and outwardly flaring skirt or collar from the lower edge of which there extends outwardly a rim or flange 5, said rim lying in a plane v which is substantially 'parallel with the plane of the top 3. lln the formation of the cap the rim 5 '1s crimped or luted and such llutings extendv u into the skirt or collar l to a slight extent. Title paper underlay or liner partakes 'of the same form, and the crimping of the paper, simultaneously with the crimping of the metal causes the liner to closely and rmly hug the metal section of the closure. f

The flaring of the skirt or collar t renders the cap universal, that is to say it will lit bottles of'diderent sizes within a quarter `of an inch variation in the diameter of the head 4iSpeicicatioln'af Letters Patent.g

"llhe Hangs 'For rim 5x stillv entends. out@ wardly and ad'oids a which any` suitable article 'applied to exert 4pressure to remove the cap. Said rim also tends to stiden the structure and to prevent accidental deformation thereof. Y

The metal employed' being quitev light and ductile may be impressed as at 6 with any desired legend or name during the process of the formation of the cap, such impression being carried into .the paper underlay as well asin the metal, in addition to the crimping abovementioned, thereby serving to inter rejection `,against lock the metal and paper together.

ile the cap is designed for general apor device may 'bei plication it is especially useful in connection j with'milk bottles, sealing the same sufh ciently tight to permit the 'contents of the. bottle' or container to be pasteurized, a practice which is carried out to a very great entent at the resent time. Having t us described my invention, what llclaimlisz l 1. A sealing device, consisting of the combination of a bottle having an outerannular plain face adjacent its upper end or mouth; a cap comprising an outer cu -shaped member formed from thin mallea le metal, said member having a top, a downwardly-extending and outwardly-flaring skirt, and an outwardly-extending crimped flange, the crimping extending into the lower portion of said skirt; and a paper liner closely fitting the under face of said cup-shaped member and having crimped portions conforming to the crimping of the metallic member, the skirt` hugging the outer plain face of the bottle mouth and serving when the cap is forced `downwardly into sealing contact with the metal, said member having a top, a downwardly extending and outwardly n daring skirt, and an outwardly extending crimped l Harige, the crimping extending into the ,lower portion of said skirt; and a paper Mld lllllti i ,shaped member formed from thin malleable metal, said member having a top, a downwardly extending and outwardly flaring skirt, and an outwardly-extendin 'crimped flange; and a pa er liner closely tting the .under face of said cup-shaped member and 4the skirt said skirt and liner hugging the| outer plain face of the bottle-mouth and serving, when the cap is forced downwardly and drawn into sealing contact with the bottle, to hold the cap in place,

In testimony whereof I have signed my name-to this specification in the presence ofwitnesses. OHN J ANUCHOWSKY.
